With the Outer Path, Nagato also devised the [[Six Paths of Pain]] by transmitting chakra directly to another body, turning that body into an extension of the user able to relay visual information to him, as do the creatures summoned through the [[Animal Path]] technique and the [[King of Hell]]<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 556, pages 5-6</ref>.

Trivia

Gedō (外道; Literally meaning "Outer Path"), derived from the Sanskrit Tīrthika, refers to any doctrine which "treads the outer path" to enlightenment. This is opposed to the teachings of orthodox Buddhism, the Naidō (内道; Literally meaning "Inner Path"), and is thus considered misguided and heretical.

Naruto referred to the control of the Six Paths of Pain as Gedō no Jutsu (外道の術; Literally meaning "Outer Path Technique"), and that the Paths' ability to share visual information with the original body stemmed from that technique.[4]
